Super Stroke Putter Grips

brutus27 · July 12

Just benched my SC Newport Mil-Spec Pro platinum for a TM Spider Tour Z with a Super Stroke grip.
I’m new to these as have always used the rubber SC grips.

I’ve noticed that these grips really show wear and tear.

Any suggestions on how to keep these from looking dirty and feeling slick? I realize that wiping them down will help but anyone have any tips to extend longevity?

BTW the new putter is very stable and forgiving. It’s already helping my scoring although I must say I miss the feedback and feel of the SC.

Aside from washing them, which helps, I replace mine fairly frequently. They definitely don’t last as long as my SC grips did.

Unfortunately SuperStroke grips just don’t last that long.

Used mine one round and it’s peeling on the butt end already 🫣

Yeah the bag wear is bad. Mostly due to the in and out so many times with the putter and the larger grip.

I used to use the thinner 1.0 grips but the durability is horrendous. Had a lamkin deep etched on my Newport two for roughly a year with no signs of wear and that’s lasted 2-3 times longer than any SS grip I’ve had.

The OEM branded SS grips (like TM uses) I feel tend to wear even quicker. A few years ago it took me quite a while to get used to the texture, feel, feedback of SS grips; but now I can’t put with anything else. You’ll get used to the quirks.

Agree about the stock ss grips durability.

couple years ago ss released their tour only corded grips. I got a handful and they’ve been super durable. One has lasted since then and still looks great.

Maybe it's me, maybe I'm turning into a curmudgeon(?) or whatever.... I just can't get into Super Stroke putter grips. I don't understand the hype. They are not for me. It's like holding a zucchini in your hands!

I prefer the common, everyday, ubiquitous, Pingman PP58 grips on my Ping putters.

Sorry...

Fantastic analogy with the zucchini 😂 I feel the exact same. SS grips always killed the feel for me. After years of trying to find “the one” in terms of a putter grip, I settled on the Golf Pride Pro Only Red Star. I mentioned on a different thread a little earlier that I think it’s the perfect size of being a larger than the standard PP58 and a little smaller than the midsize PP58.

Careful of what's on your hands before you use them, sunscreen, bug spray, etc it will just transfer to the grip.

I haven't been a fan of SS grips cause of that, the durability and sometimes sickness. With that said I currently have a Tour 2.0 on my gamer cause why not try it.
